OBS-Studio not working after last update

open manjaro settings, then double-click the hardware configuration icon. Then:

  • Right-click video-linux → install
  • Right-click video-nvidia (or whatever specific version is installed) → remove

Reboot, log back in, then manjaro settings → hw config again and do the opposite:

  • Right click video-nvidia → install
  • Right click video-linux → remove

Reboot.

You can do everything from the command line:

sudo mhwd -i pci video-linux
sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
sudo reboot
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
sudo mhwd -r pci video-linux
sudo reboot

Also, it was too late when I thought about it, but one might just want to try and reinstall the nvidia drivers instead of doing a full switch to the nouveau driver and reboot twice… That would be nice to let the others know if this works or not.

Anyhow, cycling the drivers worked for me. First time I see this on linux lol. I there hadn’t been a few people already saying that this fixed the issue, I wouldn’t have even tried.
